Drive the technical direction for caching infrastructure used across Product and Research
Design, build, and operate a managed Redis fleet that scales to support: millions of users across Claude's product ecosystem
Build client libraries and developer-facing abstractions that make correct: caching the default for Anthropic engineers
Design and operate CDC-driven cache invalidation that keeps cached data: consistent with source-of-truth databases
Architect caching solutions that operate across GCP, AWS, first-party deployments, and other environments
Optimize latency, hit rates, reliability, and cost efficiency on Anthropic's hottest paths
